Unfortunately you are stil healing and it will be some time before some can drink all 64 oz. Trying all day is the only way and don't try and sip any Water close to the time you drank a Protein drink. The Protein Drink gives you a temporary full feeling and nobody drinks much Water. Try and do what the doctors want us all the do, after eating a meal (yes, Protein Drinks included) after 30-60 minutes depending on your doctor, sip the water. The pouch is new on the band and healing will take several weeks. I stayed on liquids close to 30 days after surgery to help the pouch heal better. Lots of Protein shakes, SF Jello, SF popsicles. Lots of broths with sprinkled dried onions to give it additional flavors.

Best wishe and keep the faith.

It took me about 2 weeks before I could get all my Water down. Your stomach is still swollen and you will have a hard time until the swelling goes down. Just keep sipping. You'll be fine. You're body knows you can't take in as much now, so don't worry about it. Just drink what you can. :)

I just had surgery Tuesday then ended up in the hospital due to some swelling and nausea with vomiting. Headed home now and my diet was advanced to full liquids. I could use some ideas for dinner. I'm hungry!

Were In the same boat same thing happened to me I am learning I can tolerate yogurt runny cream of wheat sf Popsicles sf Jello and Protein shake. I can tolerate Soup right now it gets me gagging like today which I threw up and that started acid reflux and the hiccups/burps. Everyday is a learning process. Best wishes

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
